I hear that.

I think Covid disrupted a lot of social nets for a lot of people and that sure didn't help

I'm so sorry Cat. 🫂

My SCA group is falling apart, here is falling apart, work is... just stressful, because we constantly have the threat of dissolution over head and I just wanted... something

And I can't have this

And I hate that I can't just host at home, but my house is too small and too messy

the yard is small too

Zoom meetings might be easier, but obviously not as close as you wanted

Frustrating.

And right now this disappointment is turning into how nobody would have turned up anyways, because I had some really disappointing declines

What were you planning on doing? Like, where were you going to reserve?

something like this

covered pavilion, tables, bathrooms, room for cornhole & bocce

it wasn't going to be an elaborate party, so it was stupid anyways

i hate parties anyways

but cancelling it just hit me really hard and I've been upset for hours

Well, I think "not elaborate" does not equal "stupid"

I do think that, maybe, if you hate parties then scheduling something that sounds like a "party" might not be the way to go. But I don't know what the right answer is, either.

Unfortunately I have no right to throw bricks in the glass house where anxieties are concerned.

I thought it would be nice to have food and cake and music, and it would be okay if folks just stopped by for a little bit

I totally get it!

And I totally get the frustration/disappointment.

I had wanted to do a 40th, and that didn't happen

I want to say, "Don't let the anxiety blow it out of proportion," but that's the sort of advice I wouldn't be able to follow myself.

This^

I totally get how it feels to 'not matter' you totally DO, of course, but it still sucks to feel like one doesn't hugs I'm sorry I can't swing it.

Guys, I signed on with the intent of being able to RP...but I'm exhausted and need to lie down/sign off. Sorry.

Same, but I was so touched and pleased to be invited, Cat.

BrekkeP - REST.

night rahne

Catnik, if I lived closer, I'd BE there. Hugs

G'night, all.

Sleep well, Rahne

Mmm maybe PBEMS would be better for Beltaine RP

Possibly. And, we don't have to play every Beltaine in every location/setting.

Amen to that nod

true

I imagine ER and RV are the ones we'd focus on but let me know if I'm wrong on that

I should log off myself.

Getting to be that time. Pause or fade?

Pause I think

Pick it up tomorrow. Night all! Cat, we love you.

Hugs Night ladies. Better Days, Catnik Hugs ❤️
